Love the look of wood but afraid it will hurt your pocketbook? Many organizations in the healthcare, education and other commercial spaces are in the same boat. We are all under a fiscal crunch to some extent to obtain the best results at the lowest possible cost.

Luckily, we have the solution to this problem! STEVENSWOOD® by Stevens Industries, Inc. is an engineered wood product that provides the look and feel of wood, but without the cost that makes so many of us cringe and look for more budget dollars. STEVENSWOOD® includes a wide range of colors, wood grains and textures to give any furniture or wall panel application the right styling and often include matching edging, moulding and door fronts. Some of Steven’s collections even offer dual-sided synchronized texture and grain, providing a superior overall appearance.

I kid you not, the first time I viewed the wood grain options offered by Stevens, I was shocked at not only how close to actual wood it looked, but also how realistic it felt to the touch.

Whether you’re searching for a modern, classic or rustic ambience in your space, STEVENSWOOD® is a beautiful alternative that will give you the functionality and high-end look you desire but at a fraction of the price of wood. And to boot, STEVENSWOOD® is FSC certified using 100% recycled and recovered material, or GRN+ non-added formaldehyde core materials.

Finally, we can’t forget to mention the topic of durability when talking about STEVENSWOOD®. Particularly for those in education and healthcare settings, we understand how important it is for your furniture to withstand the daily wear and tear it is sure to endure. Utilizing a product such as that offered by Stevens can help your furniture avoid scuffs, stains and impact related damage that wood can so often be susceptible to. Ultimately, this creates longevity in your furniture and helps to justify the expenditure of those budget dollars!
